Ignore directory and all nested directories/files

[markreg]

Adding a directory to the ignored list does not make fresh ignore all nested directories/files.

[wubin1989]

Yes, I found the same problem. Anyone can help to fix it?

I want to ignore node_modules directory, but not work.

[drKnoxy]

ugh

[gmccue]

@wubin1989 are you using a proper recompile.conf file? I had the same issue, but it seems to be resolved after setting the proper root and ignore lines in recompile.conf.

My recompile.conf file for reference:

root:              .
tmp_path:          .tmp_build
build_name:        my-app
build_log:         my-app-build-errors.log
valid_ext:         .go, .tmpl
ignored:           assets, node_modules, containers
build_delay:       600
colors:            1
log_color_main:    cyan
log_color_build:   yellow
log_color_runner:  green
log_color_watcher: magenta

I start the binary with the following command within a Docker container:

backend:
  build: ./backend
  container_name: backend
  working_dir: /go/src/github.com/my-org/my-project
  command: fresh -c /go/src/github.com/my-org/my-project/containers/backend/recompile.conf
  env_file: ../../.env
  volumes:
   - ../../.:/go/src/github.com/my-org/my-project
  ports:
   - "8000:3001"
  links:
   - cache

It's not working for sub directories neither with configuration

[cristian-sima]

[cristian-sima]

So, the idea is that is ignoring that directory, but it watches all the sub directories

[gmccue]

@cristian-sima can you paste your recompile.conf ?

[cristian-sima]

Sure. I called it fresh.conf

root:              .
tmp_path:          tmp
build_name:        cube
build_log:         cube-build-errors.log
valid_ext:         .go, .html
ignored:           tmp, node_modules, util, static, source, conf, grunt
build_delay:       600
colors:            1
log_color_main:    cyan
log_color_build:   yellow
log_color_runner:  green
log_color_watcher: magenta

[cristian-sima]

Thanks for your quick reply. I was searching for an alternative to this project cause I can not do npm install in the sense it blocks the node folders

[cristian-sima]

@pilu or someone else can take a look at this?

It is really frustrating 😠

[cristian-sima]

Someone?

[gravityblast]

Hi @cristian-sima , I'm sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I can't work on this soon, but it might be a quick fix for anyone who wants to send me a PR.
There's a function called isIgnoredFolder in utils.go that checks that. It should be easy to change the == paths[0] to just check if a folder is a subfolder of the ignored path. maybe @ernestas-poskus who worked on that can help us?

[cristian-sima]

@pilu I solved this problem with the pull request

[gmccue]

Fixed by #60

[yoesoff]

I'm still having this issue, this is my conf:

root:              .
tmp_path:          ./tmp
build_name:        runner-build
build_log:         runner-build-errors.log
valid_ext:         .go 
no_rebuild_ext:    .tpl, .tmpl, .html
ignored:           assets, tmp, public/assets, vendor, templates, node_modules
build_delay:       600
colors:            1   
log_color_main:    cyan
log_color_build:   yellow
log_color_runner:  green
log_color_watcher: magenta
log_color_app:

can comebody tell me how to fix it ?

[cheddarwhizzy]

I also can't ignore subdirectories with a '/' in the name (ie public/assets). I'll see if I can get this squared away

[trinode]

@gmccue should I open a new issue (since this is closed) as I'm experiencing what @cheddarwhizzy is, in my case I can ignore frontend, but not frontend/node_modules?

[cryptiklemur]

Can this get re-opened @markreg
